‘Short pyramid
PYRAMID clubs are longgone, but the pyramid coat (flaring toward the hemline) seems to go on forever, It's still the favorite this spring although top-flight designers have been sending up “trial balloons” by showing a few more-or-less-straight-lined coats.
This spring's pyramid, however, is a pyramid with a difference. Its fullness has been pared down somewhat, so that the “flare” has a tendency to fall into more nearly vertical folds. The difference isn't so apparent in ‘short coats as it is in the three-quarter and fulllength styles. The short coat still retains more of its jaunty
flare. » » »
EVEN THE wrap coat which may be worn belted or loose is less voluminous in cut this season. Effect the coat designers have aimed at is a long, fluld look, no matter what the coat type. To their
show they haven't missed aim, here's a quintet of
Capital Capers—
Costume Party
By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Mar. 3—
One of the most symbolically
stirring parties of thé century is currently under construection in the capital. It will be a costume ball and it will be held in the old German e-m ba ssy, unoccupied since
its Nazi inhabitants fled in 1041.
The former embassy is a gloomy, “rococo dwelling on M a s 8 a chusetts Ave. It is now up for sale and® Ig being -negotiated for by Morris Cafritz, Washington's most spectacularly successful businessman and a leader in the Jewish community. Mr. Cafritz is not definite about what he will do with the old embassy when he does get it, but Mrs. Cafritz wants to “reopen” it with a costume ball, at which Meyer Davis and. his orchestra will play. “It's a pleasure to look around the room at a Washington party and see s0-many people you don’t know,” said Mrs. Wayne Morse, wife of the:Senator from Oregon; at a reception. at-the F St. club this week. : Mrs. Morse is a. dark-eyed, Mendly woman who looks somewhat like a smaller, rounder edition of her hfishand, the. vigorous maverick Republican.

Handbags Have New Look
~ WHATEVER THEIR SIZE, handbags to go with new spring outfits have a new look of their own. They're not squashy and shapeless. They have more “body” along with more definite, clean-cut lines. "Representing the trend are three handbags from Charles Mayer's. At top is one with a shirred body given definite outline by its frame top and end piping. In patent or faille, it's $7.95. Below it is a flat box-type with double-strap handle. This, in calf or faille, is $12.50. WRile most bags are in the medium to small size range, those for travelers are really big, to accommodate all the odds and ends accumulated by travelers. The shoulder-strap model (below) is a Roger Van S design and is $25. All prices are subject to the federal tax, of course.

Patent Bags Get Boost
Color Becomes More Impertant
When Ethel Merman, in “Call | Me Madam,” arrives to take over] she'd
the Lichtenberg embassy, brings down the house with an
outsize patent leather bag she carries, This huge bag, shaped much
like a brief case and making Ethel appear the diplomat “very much with portfolio,” may have
started a vogue for larger bags.!
Whatever it has started, it has given the patent handbag a boost to fashion fame. Patent leather handbags will be more important this year than they have for a long time. So will color in handbags. One Indianapolis handbag buyer says, “Color is terrific.” Another new note in handbags, also seen in shoes, is the combination of two fabrics or two colors.
Faille Handbags -
Faille handbags are continuing in importance, too. One manufacturer, Coblentz, is featuring large size street bags in faille. The innovation, according to the manufacturer, is the perfect complement for the season's very feminine soft suits. With these a calf hag might look too heavy; a suede bag too wintry; a faille bag exactly right, Coblentz says there's an econ-
omic’ reason for the faille bag, | {too. Calf is so high-priced that
manufacturers are able to give better value in producing fine quality faille bags. One thing ‘ts notable about the new faille bags—they're not the soft, squashy looking types. Even
the shirred ones have more “body” ‘and definite . clean-cut silhouet.
